2015 Whitehawk

Up until 2017, Jayco was a family owned company. Their trailers were well-crafted up until they were sold to Thor. Our pull-behind came with a 2-year warranty, which we never needed to use! From 2017...

I think it's a matter of preference and budget. We pull our 2015 DSRL with a 1500 Silverado 5.3. Excellent mileage (9.5 - 10 avg so far). But you'll know the engine is working. I'd love to get a 3/4...

Silverado 1500 - Happy with mileage

We bought a 2015 27DSRL and are very happy with it. Zero defects so far! And, for anyone thinking about it, our 2009 Chevy Silverado with the 5.3 is consistently getting me 9.5 - 10mpg. We even got...

Extend our bed / mattress?

We just took delivery of a Jayco 27DSRL. Our mattress seems a bit short. Is there a relatively easy way to extend the bed / mattress about 6 inches?
Thank you.

I believe the switch you are referring to controls an amber light outside on the "slide side."
Not sure about the dump station light.

We went with the Surge Guard 30A portable that cost around $215. PI would have been our 2nd choice. Hope you find one that satisfies your need. :)

Thank you for your replys. If it is not a 220v system I may use the 120v 20 amp service I have. At least until I decide if a dedicated 30A service is in my best interest.
